Janbouli's Home Layout The Kannewton & CC

[Janbouli]

The AR is in place , on the left side of the wye the longer piece of track between the turnouts. All turnouts have cobalts underneath , feeder wires placed and everything works like a charm.


Smaller valance , 3 rows of LED's , and up goes the lighting. It is studded for the time being , tomorrow I will hang it up on the ceiling.




Plenty of light , but I mite end up adding a colored LED strip to be able to control the warmth of the lighting, of course if I do that I will have to do that with the entire layout.

Looks great. Nice, interesting trackwork and loads of room for scenery. Good work!

Now , if you would spend more time on your layout that you now use to send around tacky jokes , you might get something done , but then we would miss the tacky jokes so thats NOT  a good Idea

Thanx Rich

Looking great, Jan.

I really like your mill diorama.  Did you scratchbuild that from the Hinkle Mill plans in the MRR or MRC? (can't remember which one now).

Cheers, Mark.

Thanks Mark , the Hinkle Mill is a kit from American Model Builder , I think sold out in H0 but still available in N

Thanx Chris, some people think N-scale is good for people with small space to build a layout , I'm the kind that thinks N-scale is good to do vast scenery and long lines with enough space.

I must say since I have gotten  to know some of the people on the Old forum ( most of them are here now ) and what they can do with H0 kits I have also gotten a liking for the detail that larger scales bring.

Because I feel I don't have the right backdrop for the Clay Center scenes, and I don't want to model a scene before the backdrop is done from now on , I decided I would place backdrops to those scenes I did make the mistake of modeling before the backdrop. This is the Riley scene , and the backdrop is imho perfect for this. Started on the right hand side.

First some pics of the before.






And after.


I had to take a way the 3D backdrop fronts that were mainstreet Riley , after the backdrop is done I will start rebuilding the scenery in Riley.










Next I will scenic Riley and then place backdrops above the cut and towards it.
